Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Montauban

Free quote — surveying & photogrammetry in Montauban

Banks of the Tarn, bridges, urban plots: in Montauban, drone photogrammetry produces orthophotos, point clouds and georeferenced 3D models that surveyors and engineering firms drop straight into their tools. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Montauban and its department (82) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

Prefecture of Tarn-et-Garonne, 50 km north of Toulouse, Montauban is one of the oldest bastide towns of the South-West: its Place Nationale with double rows of pink-brick arcades, the 14th-century Pont Vieux over the Tarn and the Ingres Bourdelle museum make remarkable aerial views. Mind the military estates: the city hosts the 17th parachute engineer regiment, whose grounds are no-fly, and Montauban aerodrome (LFDB) borders the city to the north-east. Montauban's economy relies on food and fruit production (Quercy melon, nearby Moissac chasselas grapes), growing logistics along the A62 and a fabric of construction SMEs.

€800–3,000 per day — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Every mission in Montauban is priced on its own facts: area to cover, flight height, expected deliverable and local formalities.

The airspace context in Montauban

A photogrammetric survey in Montauban covers the site in parallel flight lines: inside the restricted perimeter (Emprises du 17e régiment du génie parachutiste (survol interdit)), the authorisation must describe that grid precisely — a technical file we prepare as standard.

Photogrammetric surveys fly in the open category over controlled sites, on automated grids below 120 m; urban footprints or sites crossed by third parties move to the specific category with a declaration. Full regulations and rates: surveying & photogrammetry across France →

Frequently asked questions

Surveying & photogrammetry in Montauban: what budget should you plan?

Allow €800–3,000 per day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Build the overflight-authorisation lead time for Montauban into your schedule: several weeks depending on the case.

What accuracy can a drone survey achieve in Montauban?

With GNSS-measured ground control points, the orthophoto and point cloud reach 2–5 cm planimetric accuracy — enough for a preliminary design survey. For legally binding documents we work under a partner chartered surveyor covering Occitanie.

Does vegetation interfere with photogrammetric surveys?

Yes: photogrammetry measures the visible surface, so the canopy rather than the ground beneath. For wooded areas, we offer drone LiDAR, which penetrates vegetation and reconstructs the bare terrain.
